It's even become mandatory by communities in some games, which is something I hate with passion. For instance, many MMORPG communities are on Discord these days (e.g. Guild Wars 2, more specifically the raiding scene).
So I subscribed to these communities and started using Discord. I still don't get the appeal, it's a cluttered mess all over the place and it doesn't feel intuitive to use. Maybe I'm getting old...
I don't buy that. I live on the other side of the planet and I know what project 2025 is and its key action points. It's not just foreign media that were reporting on it. I also watch some US late night shows, especially when a major event like an election is about to happen. Most late night shows also discussed project 2025 at length.
Curious if this argument also works for other situations? "I didn't file my taxes, because it would take too long".
Interesting, so how did they feel when Elon did the "Roman salute"? Romans basically walked around in skirts as well...
Ah well, I think reason left the US long ago.
It's basically communism! /s
Such negative sentiment. Not everything is about rebelling against billionaires you know? Space travel is following the same innovation curve as any other mode of travel. Remember how expensive a car used to be, or flying? Those used to be only for the wealthy, now you can hop on a flight to the other side of the content for less than 100 Euro. It will eventually be the same for space travel. The cost of space cargo is coming down quickly, which will enable us to explore "the final frontier". I hope I get to experience it in my lifetime and it isn't really outside the realm of possibility either.
Naive Dutch guy here: can't you just refuse the receipt? Here they ask you if you want the receipt, and you can simply say: No, thank you.
Quick, call Jen!
How will you build wealth without mortgages and just paying cash? Then most people wouldn't be able to afford to buy a home, they would always be slaves to rent. No mortgages plays right into the hand of the wealthy few that can exploit the renters.
Technology is moving fast, I have experienced something similar in a metaverse like setting (release of a new luxury watch in a metaverse). It was a bit odd to describe. The vibe was closer to a Nintendo Mii gathering than an actual meeting. I'm sure one day we will get into the realm of sci-fi VR meetings, basically teleportation without actually moving. Just look at how quickly video calling went from sci-fi to basically being the norm in business these days.
As someone who often attends and speaks at these type of events, I would advice against that. The main benefit of these events lies in the connections people make. These connections are very personal and don't really work in a virtual context (yet, might in the future though). Most innovations are inspired by having a chat with other people and just throw some ideas and different perspectives around. That won't happen if you treat a conference as a Teams meeting, people would just dial in, give their presentation and leave. Frankly, most presentations or talks during these conferences could have been (usually are) an article anyways. It's the discussions that happen outside of these agenda items where the value is.
The way I see it, there are two types of developers we should take into consideration for this discussion:
- Software Engineers
- Code editors
Most "programmers" these days are really just code editors, they know how to search stack overflow for some useful pointers, copy that code and edit it to what they need. That is absolutely fine, this advances programming in so many ways. But the software engineers are the people that actually answer the stack overflow questions with detailed answers. These engineers have a more advanced skillset in problem solving for specific coding frameworks and languages.
When people say: programmers are cooked, I keep thinking that they mean code editors, not software engineers. Which is a similar trend in basically all industries in relation with AI. Yes, AI has the potential to make some jobs in health care obsolete (e.g. radiologist), but that doesn't mean we no longer need surgeons or domain expert doctors. Same thing applies to programming.
So if you are a developer today, ask yourself the following: Do actually know my stuff well, am I an expert? If the answer is no, and you're basically a code editor (which again, is fine), then you should seriously consider what AI means for your job.
I'm curious: why?
Removing IP law just feels like it would only benefit those with the resources to scale new technology quickly. It basically kills all start ups.
edit: word
I'm all for banning pick-up trucks, but @neclimdul has a point. The Mercedes you point at in the back row is literally the smallest Mercedes (A-class) and the Volvo in front row is an older full-sized wagon, which isn't big in todays standards. A "full size" today, is definitely closer to 5m or even a little over (BMW 5-series). A mid-sized like a C class or 3-series is 4,80. Cars have grown a lot over the years!
But where @neclimdul makes a good point, if you take the largest sedans manufacturers offer, they won't fit the spot either. For instance: Mercedes S-class is 5,20m long (for the regular version).
Still, the pick-up trucks like pictured are way bigger, for reference a RAM is 5,80m. So in this example, if we'd parked a Mercedes S-class in the same spot, it will cross the line as well, but the tram would still have enough clearance to pass.
What do you mean? I checked my doorbell camera and you always leave house at around 8 am and return around 5.30 pm, nothing out of the ordinary? /s
If we are solely looking at mainstream media, then there is very little coverage of protest in the US itself. We get more coverage on us Europeans, Canadians and Australians boycotting US made goods. Therefore, it might look like Americans aren't really doing much. Of course, most of us know that's not the case.
Well, not banned explicitly, they just didn't pass the safety regulations all vehicles must adhere to. Main issue is pedestrian safety, due to the sharp edges of the panels.
For clarity: I despise everything about Trump.
But celebrating the 250th anniversary of the army is a logical thing to do. Most countries around the world, even democracies, would do that. Look at for example the parades in France.
The thing Trump is doing wrong in this scenario is that he makes it about him. He is having a parade for his birthday, not the 250th birthday of the army. Fucking narcissist.
This is infuriating, but what surprises me more is that Netanyahu seems to be fine with it? Seriously? He romanticizes the holocaust?
I know some Israeli are protesting on the streets, but this type insult should be met with country wide demonstration, right?
